AC/DC continue to make the press rounds following the release of the new DVD, Live at River Plate. With their last tour, in support of the Black Ice album, finishing as the third most successful tour of all time, the group find themselves answering a bevy of questions about when they’re going to hit the road again.
"I would welcome another tour, just to get out there,” singer Brian Johnson told Absolute Radio. “I mean, if they said, 'Another two years' I might blanch a bit, but I think everybody in the band is fit, well prepared, and they've still got it."
Johnson said the monotony of touring is well offset by the thrill of playing onstage.
"The travelling is tedious, you know, but the onstage bit, getting on the stage, that's the fun bit, you know, that's what you're getting out for.”
Always known for their outrageous stage props—from the cannons to Hell’s Bell to the massive inflatable Whole Lotta Rosie—the group went into the Black Ice tour with another massive visual idea, the Rock ’N Roll Train.
“This is rock and roll, there's no such word as ‘no,’” laughed Johnson. “It was Malcolm and Angus [Young's] idea about the train, initially just trying to think of a train, and just say to somebody 'Right, we want a train,' and to convert that into the real thing."
He continued, "Yeah, but we did do it and it really was sensational, that train, and it never screwed up, it was always bang on."
